WINE works pretty well at running most programs. Virtual Windoze machines are pretty common among the guys that just have to have Windoze programs.

But if Linux is not an operating system why would I put it between my operating system and my programs and then add Wine as another middle man.

I confess I tried ubuntu a few years ago and even used the Linux version of MS Office (open office). But one day it simply stopped working. I even uninstalled and reinstalled with no luck. It looked fine but you could not see or type anything in its word equivalent.

I finally got rid of it and ubuntu and got on with my life. My computer is like my toaster. I use it when I need it and then I forget it exists when I don’t.
